At Louisiana Tech, student research isn’t just an opportunity, it’s a cornerstone of our learning experience. Our students explore real-world challenges, develop innovative solutions, and gain hands-on experience that prepares them for graduate studies, professional careers, and beyond. Dive in, ask questions, and discover how your ideas can shape the future!
Students at all levels can participate in research projects across Louisiana Tech’s diverse academic programs. Opportunities include:
Faculty-led research projects in areas such as STEM, social sciences, humanities, and more.
Independent or collaborative studies where students design and lead their own projects.
Internships and field experiences that apply research skills in real-world contexts.

Present at events, publish your findings, or highlight your work online. Show off your skills, get noticed by peers and professionals, and take pride in the impact of your own discoveries.
Present at Conferences: Speak about your work at campus, regional, or national events and network with fellow students and professionals.
Poster Sessions & Expos: Display your projects in interactive sessions that engage the campus and broader community.
Publish & Share: Contribute to student journals, online platforms, or digital spotlights to highlight your achievements beyond the classroom.
Graduate and doctoral students at Louisiana Tech have the opportunity to take their ideas further through hands-on research. If you’re pursuing a master’s thesis, practicum, or doctoral degree, you’ll work closely with a faculty mentor to develop projects that lead to meaningful scholarly work. We encourage students to share their research in as many ways as possible such as presenting at conferences, publishing in journals, or using platforms like ResearchGate, videos, or even social media. Completed master’s theses and doctoral dissertations are also showcased in Louisiana Tech’s Digital Commons, giving your work a permanent home and a wider audience.
Students interested in getting involved in research projects should start by talking to faculty members and the Associate Deans for Research.
